Introduction
Are you finding it difficult to keep your blood glucose levels stable? While insulin resistance is a common culprit, many people don’t realize that leptin resistance can be at the root of the problem. That’s why we’re focusing on one essential mineral that plays a major role in both: magnesium.

Why Magnesium Is So Important
Magnesium deficiency is extremely common, yet many people underestimate its impact. This essential mineral plays a crucial role in regulating blood glucose, supporting healthy insulin levels, and maintaining leptin sensitivity.
Because leptin resistance often develops before insulin resistance, it can disrupt hunger cues and slow down your body’s natural fat-burning processes. Increasing your magnesium intake may help restore this balance and support a healthier metabolism.
What Magnesium Does in the Body
Modern agricultural methods have significantly reduced magnesium levels in our soil, which means many foods no longer contain the mineral concentrations they once did. Magnesium is essential for breaking down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, so low levels can impair your body’s ability to convert food into usable energy.
We’re also surrounded by electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from smartphones, Wi-Fi, and other digital devices. These EMFs stimulate voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), allowing excess calcium to flood into cells. Magnesium helps counteract this effect by acting as a natural calcium channel blocker, supporting cellular balance in an increasingly high-EMF world.
How to Choose the Right Magnesium Supplement
When it comes to supplementation, not all magnesium forms are equal. At Vitatree, we recommend magnesium bisglycinate and it's the form we use in our wholefood magnesium formula. Here's why it stands out:
- Superior absorption
- Gentle on the stomach
- Doesn't cause diarrhea, even at higher doses
- Supports healthy leptin and insulin sensitivity
- Promotes better blood sugar balance
Magnesium bisglycinate is one of the most effective forms available and ideal for supporting a healthy metabolism.
When to Take Magnesium for Best Results
Timing your magnesium intake can make a big difference. For maximum benefit, take your magnesium supplement at a time when your body can best absorb and utilize it. At Vitatree we suggest taking Magnesium in the morning. Feel free to check out the video 'When is the Best Time to Take Magnesium' from our co-founder and formulator Dr. Janine Bowring to learn more!
